A 66-year-old male presented with hematuria and mucosuria. A transurethral resection of the prostate revealed adenocarcinoma in situ with mucinous features. He underwent a robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection. Pathology confirmed T2 primary mucin-producing urothelial type adenocarcinoma in the prostatic urethra. Urothelial adenocarcinoma arising in the prostatic urethra is an uncommon disease that warrants clear differentiation from other malignancies due to its aggressive nature. The differential includes urologic and gastrointestinal malignancies making diagnosis complex. Accurate diagnosis is critical to providing appropriate treatment as these patients are at high risk of developing recurrence and metastatic disease.

Prostate enlargement known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) increases the risk of infection in the urinary tract by obstructing or blocking the prostatic portion of the urethra. This disease becomes more common as people age.

Here, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing, single-cell multiomics, and spatial transcriptomics to define the transcriptional, epigenetic, and spatial basis of cell identity and castration response in the mouse prostate. Leveraging these data along with a meta-analysis of human prostates and prostate cancer, we identified cellular orthologs and key determinants of ADT response and resistance.

Background: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the type of I-125 radioactive source on dose distribution in the planning process of ultra-low dose rate (uLDR) prostate brachytherapy.
Material And Methods: 7 patients who had undergone brachytherapy in our center were included in the study. Dose in five geometrical points were analyzed for 12 types of implants that are available on the market.

Introduction: This report describes late erosion of an Adjustable Transobturator Male System device which was inserted for post-prostatectomy incontinence. The Adjustable Transobturator Male System device eroded the bulbar urethra 5 years post insertion, despite initial improvement of symptoms.
Case Presentation: Following an open radical retropubic prostatectomy, a 64 year-old male patient developed post-prostatectomy incontinence.
Impact of Endocrine Disruptors on the Genitourinary Tract.

Over the last decades, the human species has seen an increase in the incidence of pathologies linked to the genitourinary tract. Observations in animals have allowed us to link these increases, at least in part, to changes in the environment and, in particular, to an increasing presence of endocrine disruptors. These can be physical agents, such as light or heat; natural products, such as phytoestrogens; or chemicals produced by humans.
